2020 Neighborhood Reports

Memorandum Date: April 12, 2021 To: Mayor Vinis and City Council From: Rene Kane

Neighborhood Planner, Office of Human Rights & Neighborhood Involvement Subject: 2020 Eugene Neighborhood Associations Annual Reports Each year, the Office of Human Rights & Neighborhood Involvement (HRNI) collects information on the activities of the Eugene’s formally recognized neighborhood associations. HRNI asks neighborhood associations to provide information on how they engaged their neighbors, their meetings, events and elections, as well as their successes and challenges from the previous year and goals for the following year. This information helps identify where additional program support and resources are needed and provides insight into the accomplishments, priorities and challenges facing neighborhood groups. The annual reports are also used to assess compliance with established neighborhood association boundary guidelines. Included in this memo is a summary of the 2020 neighborhood reports that were submitted. Attached are the individual reports from each neighborhood association.

Without a doubt, 2020 tested our community ‐ and Eugene’s neighborhood associations passed that test with care, skill, and camaraderie. With their ability to find and foster community amidst the challenges of COVID‐19, physical distancing and last summer’s wildfire impacts, neighborhood organizations gathered their neighbors together to knock on doors, hand out PPE, make and deliver hand sanitizer, launch public information campaigns to slowing the spread of COVID‐19, provide childcare for essential workers, deliver food, find sites for people who are unhoused, prepare for disasters, make art and discuss topics that remained important despite the pandemic. As national outrage grew over the deaths of Breonna Taylor and George Floyd and our local community responded, more and more neighborhood association board members considered their own roles and our long collective history in creating the disparities of today. Then wildfires struck our close neighbors in the McKenzie Valley to the east, threatened Springfield neighborhoods, and the resultant air quality impacts severely affected the whole community. In the early days of the COVID‐19 pandemic, with local and state governments organizing to respond, schools and stores closing, and offices shuttered, Eugene’s neighborhood association boards were figuring out how to continue

their work and, more importantly, how to address the pandemic’s impact on their neighbors. When meeting in person became impossible, neighborhood association leaders quickly learned how to schedule, host and manage Zoom meetings, organize outreach to some of their most vulnerable neighbors, hold elections, feature guest speakers, and host online events and webinars. This summary of annual neighborhood reports for 2020 shows neighborhood associations as a whole at their strongest, most resilient and most effective.

2020 Successes Eugene’s neighborhood associations faced the challenges of 2020 with creativity and determination. Unable to meet in person, online meetings were their primary means of engaging their neighbors. Last summer’s Holiday Fire and its impact on the area’s air quality compounded the challenges of COVID‐19 in a season when Eugene’s neighborhood associations regularly hold their neighborhood events outdoors. In this context of 2020, each of the successes and accomplishments listed below and in the attached reports speak to the dedication to community and the resilience of neighborhood leaders.

Broadening Engagement and Participation Neighborhood associations made a quick transition to using Zoom for their membership, board and committee meetings. Provided to neighborhood associations by HRNI, Zoom afforded access to neighborhood meetings that previously had been difficult for some people due scheduling conflicts, family responsibilities, or accessibility. Several neighborhood associations indicated they saw attendance by new neighbors increase with the online meeting format. Neighborhood associations are also increasing their use of online surveys to gauge the hopes and concerns of their neighbors and to inform them of opportunities to become more involved in the work of their associations. In 2020, increasingly popular communication tools included signboards (Whiteaker Community Council), brochures (South University Neighborhood Association), and lawn signs (River Road Community Organization, Active Bethel Citizens, Jefferson Westside Neighbors, Friendly Area Neighbors). With the community relying more on the Internet for connection, several neighborhood associations saw an increase in the number of people visiting their websites, Facebook pages, and Instagram and Twitter accounts. Nextdoor continues to be a popular way for neighborhood associations to announce events, meetings, and other opportunities to be involved in community activities.

We had a very productive remote meeting that allowed more members of the community to participate. I hope that the future meetings of this group are conducted using ZOOM (or a similar service) when the restrictions on in‐person gatherings are lifted. Remote meetings allow a wider range of community members to participate. ~ Cal Young Neighbors Association

Like most volunteer organizations, participation in neighborhood association boards can fluctuate. Board members join for variety of reasons and stay in leadership positions for at least as many reasons. Most neighborhood associations hold elections annually and, depending on the group, boards undergo some degree of change each year. When a neighborhood association board is unable to maintain sufficient leadership, HRNI staff offers to assist the board members in strengthening their group, reaching their neighbors and planning engaging and meaningful activities. In 2020, several neighborhoods saw an influx of new board members, including Cal Young Neighborhood Association whose board (4 of 5 are new board members) was elected on March 7, 2020, just two weeks before Governor Brown issued the COVID‐19 stay‐at‐home order in Oregon. As in previous years, it’s evident that neighborhood association committees afford an opportunity for non‐board members to contribute to the work of their neighborhood association. Last year saw an increase in the number of neighborhood associations that established new committees. Among them Active Bethel Citizens, River Road Community Organization and Southeast Neighbors all formed social justice committees. River Road Community Organization and Fairmount Neighbors Association formed emergency preparedness committees and Active Bethel Citizens formed a Civic Engagement Team. Other committees include the Whiteaker Community Council’s Health Committee and Community Art Team; FAN’s Equity Action Team, Transportation Committee, Housing and Homelessness Committee; and Jefferson Westside Neighbors’ Renters Advisory, Business Advisory and Non‐profit Advisory boards. Active Bethel Citizens’ additional committees include: Communications, Events, Finance, Public Safety, Beautification, Social Equity, Bylaws, Food Pantry, Business Relations, Recycling. The Holiday Farm and Almeda fires prompted a renewed and more urgent effort among Eugene’s neighborhood associations. While previous work had centered around the vulnerability of the South Hills, the Almeda fire, in particular, and an awareness that shifting winds would have brought the Holiday fire into Eugene, have inspired more neighborhood associations across the city to plan for fire.

Addressing Diversity, Equity, Inclusion Eugene’s neighborhood associations are deeply interested in diversifying their boards, reaching people who don’t traditionally participate in neighborhood activities and engaging the breadth of perspectives in their neighborhoods. In 2020, there were four neighborhood associations that formed committees to address hate and bias and create more welcoming neighborhoods: Southeast Neighbors, River Road Community Organization, Active Bethel Citizens and Friendly Area Neighbors. These groups meet regularly in their neighborhoods, respond to hate and bias in their communities, share resources among neighborhood associations and hold neighborhood conversations about how to address diversity, equity and inclusion issues in their neighborhoods. In December of 2020, 59 members of neighborhood association boards and committees attended the Belonging webinars hosted by the Office of Human Rights & Neighborhood Involvement. An additional 14 people who serve on neighborhood committees also attended along with members of Eugene’s appointed boards and commissions.

Responding to COVID‐19 Impacts Independently and in collaboration, neighborhood associations rose quickly to the challenges of the COVID‐19 pandemic. In April of 2020, neighborhood associations joined recovers.org (https://recovers.org) enabling neighborhood groups to match the needs of neighbors and organizations to donated goods and available volunteers. Nearly all of Eugene’s neighborhood associations used their outreach funds to communicate important information about COVID‐19 to their neighbors including newsletters and postcards, websites, Facebook and Nextdoor. With mental wellness in mind, Amazon Neighbors Association brought in Leigh Anne Jasheway ‐ local speaker, author, trainer and comedian ‐ to talk about maintaining our mental health during the pandemic. (See other sections of this summary and individual neighborhood reports for more information about neighborhood association responses to COVID‐19.

Events In a typical year, neighborhood events are a means for neighbors to gather, perhaps listen to music and share food, and work on neighborhood improvement projects together. Neighborhood events are often outside and attract families and others who may not be aware of the work neighborhood associations do, may be new to the community or might not otherwise attend weeknight meetings. Before COVID‐19, the Amazon Neighbors Association’s annual February seed swap and potluck attracted 150 people. A month later in mid‐ March, with pubic facilities closed and gatherings suspended, Eugene’s neighborhood associations continued caring for and celebrating Eugene’s parks, trials and natural areas in their neighborhoods ‐ physically distant, but no less creative, resourceful and connected. In addition to Churchill Area Neighbors’ work on neighborhood trails, Jefferson Westside Neighbors conducted regular cleanups of Monroe Park and completed a mural (funded through a neighborhood matching grant) at Charnel Mulligan Park. Streets, sidewalks and parking lots are open space too and physical distancing requirements required neighborhood associations to utilize every bit of the space within their neighborhoods to connect.

Active Bethel Citizens held a Boo‐Barn drive‐thru event.

Jefferson Westside Neighbors held a “front porch” photo tour of neighbors sheltering in place.

Amazon Neighbors Association organized a sidewalk art walk and encouraged neighbors to put art in their front yards and hosted a Halloween/Samhain outdoor decorating and fundraising event to support people affected by the Holiday Farm fire, raising $530.

Harlow Neighbors Association held summer and fall Vegie‐Swaps utilizing the help of 40 volunteers, and continued its work with Harlow Feeds over spring break 2020.

Zoom allowed for larger online presentations and discussion and Churchill Area Neighbors held a candidate forum for City Council Ward 8; Active Bethel Citizens held a three‐part discussion on race and social justice. The Eugene Neighborhood Preparedness Network, a committee of the Neighborhood Leaders Council (NLC), developed a committee to address wildfire preparedness. The Wildfire Preparedness Network held a webinar

with over 140 attendees and featured speakers Chief Chris Hepple of Eugene‐Springfield Fire, Tim Ingalsbee from FUSEE (Firefighters United for Safety, Ethics and Ecology), and Deputy Fire Chief Amy Linder to talk about lessons learned from the Holiday fire, urban‐wildland interface forest management, and fuel reduction strategies.

Partners Neighborhood associations are skilled at building relationships and leveraging partnerships between with other community organizations. In 2020 neighborhood associations capitalized on community partnerships to multiply the impact of their work and the work of other organizations and agencies in addressing community needs and goals.

River Road Community Organization and SCCO continued their work in the River Road/Santa Clara Neighborhood Plan

Active Bethel Citizens continued its work on Building a Better Bethel, hosting a Zoom meeting with neighborhood businesses, establishing the Bethel Business Alliance, and launching a Buy Local campaign.

South University Neighborhood Association collaborated with 4J/Edison as plans developed for re‐building Edison School including ideas for repurposing artifacts from the building.

South University Neighborhood Association featured a monthly update from the University of Oregon in their e‐newsletter and worked with the UO on safety issues including COVID019 and traffic and livability issues such as housing, parties, parking, housing.

Churchill Area Neighbors partnered with Burrito Brigade to install a Little Free Pantry near Acorn Park in their neighborhood.

Whiteaker Community Council received grant funds (also see the following section) from the Oregon Health Authority which they used to purchase and distribute PPE (personal protective equipment), water bottles, hand sanitizer, and information to reduce the spread of Covid‐19 to the following organizations: Egan Warming Center/St. Vincent de Paul, Community Supported Shelters, the Eugene Mission, White Bird Clinic, Black Unity, Black Thistle, Looking Glass New Roads Drop‐in Center, and the HIV Alliance.

Downtown Neighbors Association and Jefferson Westside Neighbors worked to develop a Good Neighbor Agreement for the MAT Clinic (Lane County).

2020 Neighborhood Association Initiatives and Projects Neighborhood initiatives take many forms depending on the needs of the neighborhood community, the need for and availability of material and financial support, and the capacity of each neighborhood association to carry out the necessary planning and implementation. Listed below are a few of the neighborhood initiatives and projects launched in 2020:

Whiteaker Community Council received a grant of $80k from the Oregon Health Authority to support their campaign – All 4 One, and One 4 All: 4 ways to stop the spread of COVID‐19. The campaign was placed on LTD buses, billboards, sandwich board, and across social media. Images featured Whiteaker residents. The grant also enabled WCC to distribute PPE, hand sanitizer, and

water bottles. Their focus was primarily on the needs of their most vulnerable neighbors – seniors, renters and the unhoused.

Northeast Neighbors marked completion of the Creekside Park picnic shelter which was built using funds raised by the neighborhood association.

Active Bethel Citizens’ Social Justice Committee hosted a series of Zoom meetings to discuss issues of race and equity. Guests included Senator James Manning and City Councilor Greg Evans. The series was moderated by Alex Reyna (La E‐Kiss) and attended by staff of HRNI.

In the wake of the Holiday Farm fire, Fairmount Neighbors Association formed an emergency preparedness committee

Santa Clara Community Organization continued its work to acquire the historic Schoolhouse to serve as a community center and has formed a 501c3 non‐profit.

Similarly, River Road Community Organization registered as a Public Benefit Organization and charitable organization with the State of Oregon.

A committee of the Whiteaker Community Council, the Whiteaker Community Art Team – WCAT, created “free walls” for public use, and hosted art walks in the Whiteaker neighborhood.

2020 Challenges Neighborhood associations enumerated specific 2020 challenges in their individual reports and what follows is a description of the common themes that emerged. Participation and engagement COVID‐19 has been a significant challenge to neighborhood associations since they were unable to meet in person for most of 2020 and cancelled all of their 2020 in‐person summer events. A majority of neighborhood associations indicated one of their biggest challenges is to expand their reach and engage more, and more diverse, neighborhood residents in neighborhood activities. Some neighborhood associations, especially those closest to the University, struggle to engage renters and students, even without the impact of COVID‐19. Others exceed a manageable size for meaningful engagement or have funding challenges that prevent them from engaging more neighborhood residents effectively. Neighborhood Leadership Neighborhood board membership fluctuates, and as board members leave their boards, many of them long‐time neighborhood leaders, several neighborhood associations are looking to attract and retain new board members. In particular, they are focusing on reaching out to neighbors who are younger and represent the diversity of residents, organizations and businesses within their neighborhoods. Neighborhood Resources and Funding When they can meet in‐person, Eugene’s neighborhood associations meet at available public recreational facilities, neighborhood churches, and sometimes neighborhood schools. City facilities are available to neighborhood associations at no charge and those associations that meet at churches may collect funds to offset the cost of using their neighborhood churches. For neighborhood associations that meet at schools, long‐time arrangements have been disrupted by school construction or changes in policies for facilities. South University is

Even though FAN has made a significant commitment to equity and human rights issues, we are a predominately white neighborhood and attendance at our meetings and events tends to be primarily from this population. We are always working to engage a broader contingent of community members in our neighborhood association activities. ‐ Friendly Area Neighbors

looking for an alternative meeting space while Edison School is being rebuilt and Churchill Area Neighbors is looking for another meeting site after 4J changed its policy on school usage by outside groups. Both River Road Community Organization and Santa Clara Community Organization receive outreach funding that is limited to the number of properties that are city properties (annexed) vs. County properties. One of the goals of the River Road ‐ Santa Clara Neighborhood Plan is to address this gap. Land Use and Transportation The scale, impact and subsequent engagement with land use and transportation issues in neighborhood associations vary widely. Neighborhood engagement in these issues depends on the interest and capacity of board members and residents to address development, neighborhood planning, and transportation. Traffic impacts from increased development, pedestrian and cyclist safety, excessive speed on neighborhood streets, parking, walkability and bus access were also cited as related challenges. Housing and Homelessness COVID‐19 brought unique challenges to our community’s efforts to address housing and homelessness. From efforts to preserve affordable housing stock to advocating for permanent supportive housing and supporting development of rest stops and microsites in their neighborhoods, neighborhood associations across the city have been active in advocating solutions to Eugene’s housing challenges. At the same time, neighborhood associations indicated the challenge of impacts of homelessness in their neighborhoods, including unsanctioned car camping, and camping in neighborhood parks, in the right‐of ways, and on private property without permission. Several neighborhood associations mentioned the lack of governmental support for the homeless community including safe and legal places to camp, hygiene stations and easily accessible public restrooms. Crime and Safety Several neighborhood associations cited property crime and community safety as a challenge. Concerns were primarily over property crime and the South University Neighborhood Association also cited a lack of night lighting and a higher occurrence of hate & bias incidents.

***

Goals for 2021 The challenges of 2020 provide a clear path for neighborhood association efforts in 2021. Reading the neighborhood reports will provide a more through view into what neighborhood associations are planning. Here’s a brief summary:

Outreach and Engagement A majority of neighborhood associations indicated their intention to expand their reach and engage more, and more diverse, neighborhood residents. Strategies include enhancing their online presence, using surveys to gauge the needs and concerns of their neighbors, and increasing the number of neighbors who receive electronic communications. Several neighborhood associations plan to establish or increase their connection to

neighborhood businesses. Nearly all neighborhood associations are hopeful to have an outdoor in‐person event this summer. Neighborhood Leadership Along with strengthening their neighborhood boards, neighborhood associations plan to review and revise their bylaws, address succession planning for neighborhood leaders and connect with other neighborhood associations for support and learning. In 2021, neighborhood boards will also establish and support neighborhood committees as a way to expand their reach, develop leadership capacity, and address specific goals and challenges in their neighborhood associations. Initiatives and projects Neighborhood projects and initiatives planned for 2021 are as varied as neighborhoods, a few include:

initiating or enhancing their work on emergency preparedness, many with an emphasis on wildfire preparedness

expanding their capacity and outreach to inform neighbors about potential wildfire risk and how to prepare themselves and their property.

Park, trail and open space improvement

Remain proactive on land use and transportation planning issues and respond as opportunities emerge;

City Policies for Neighborhood Associations Eugene’s first neighborhood associations were chartered in 1974 and since that time, policies and guidelines have been developed to guide the work of formally recognized neighborhood associations and the City. These include polices related to maintaining “active” status of an association and neighborhood association boundaries (both described below), and policies and guidelines related to publications and the use of public information funds.

Neighborhood Organization Recognition Policy (NORP) The NORP was first established in 1976 to “establish criteria for the recognition of neighborhood organizations and define the relationship between the city and recognized neighborhood organizations.” While the NORP has undergone minor revisions since the policy was established in 1974, its primary purpose – to establish the relationship and roles of the City and neighborhood associations ‐ remains.

Neighborhood Association Activity Status In February 2000, Eugene’s City Council approved criteria to define the activity level of neighborhood associations as part of an overall strategy to redesign the former Neighborhood Services program to enhance community involvement. To be considered “active” an association must:

1. Conduct a minimum of four general meetings annually, three of which must have a minimum of ten members in attendance, not including executive committee members;

Section 2.Function and Responsibilities of Neighborhood Organizations. (a) Neighborhood organizations will be advisory to the City Council, Planning Commission, and other city boards, commissions, and officials on matters affecting their neighborhoods. With the assistance of professional staff, subject to their availability, the neighborhood organization may develop neighborhood plans and proposals with respect to land use, zoning, parks, open space and recreation, annexation, housing, community facilities, transportation and traffic, public safety, sanitation, and other activities and public services which affect their neighborhoods. NORP 2015

2. Conduct at least four executive committee meetings annually; 3. Hold elections in accordance with their charter or by another method sanctioned by the City;

and 4. Provide an annual report on their status, activities and neighborhood needs.

A “semi‐active” association holds at least one general meeting annually and meets at least some of the above criteria. An “inactive” association fails to meet any of the criteria. Neighborhood associations that are considered less than “active” are notified of their status and program support is offered to them in collaboration with the Neighborhood Leaders Council. In the event a neighborhood has been inactive for some time, staff from Human Rights & Neighborhood Involvement work with interested community stakeholders, members of the Neighborhood Leaders Council, and appropriate city councilors to create a long‐term plan for re‐energizing inactive associations and developing leadership that can be sustained over time.

Neighborhood Association Boundaries In 2000, City Council approved boundary guidelines for the size and configurations of neighborhood associations. According to the guidelines, a neighborhood association boundary should not include fewer than 300 units or more than 8% of the total residential addresses in Eugene (77446 based on 2020 residential address data). Boundaries should not be subdivided by major natural or artificial barriers (rivers, major highways, etc.); defined by a sole private sector collective (homeowners association, apartment complex or gated community); or strictly aligned with precincts, school districts or census tracts. A neighborhood association’s borders may be called into question if they are inconsistent with these criteria. The “if, how and when” direction to modify neighborhood boundaries calls for the participation of Human Rights & Neighborhood Involvement staff, the neighborhood association board, the Neighborhood Leaders Council, and City Councilors representing the affected area. Redrawing neighborhood boundaries requires broad community engagement and working with neighbors to determine new neighborhood boundaries. Currently, the boundaries of Active Bethel Citizens (ABC) and Santa Clara Community Organization (SCCO) are inconsistent with council‐approved boundary guidelines regarding the number of residential addresses. ABC contains 12,441 or 16% of total addresses and SCCO contains 8664 or 11% of total residential addresses. Both ABC and SCCO have been informed as to the status of their boundaries.

City Council Goals for Neighborhood Publications In May 1999, City Council approved a goal for public information output that includes the annual distribution of four newsletters, postcards, flyers, newspaper inserts or advertisements, two of which must be delivered to each address within a neighborhood association boundary. Twelve neighborhood associations met or exceeded this goal in 2020 producing 41 publications including newsletters and postcards mailed to every postal address within their boundaries. Outreach funds were also used for posters, flyers, lawn signs, banners, decals and mailed surveys as well as speaker fees and translation services.

Policies on the Use of Outreach Funds Use of neighborhood association outreach funds is governed by several polices including the Guidelines for Use of Neighborhood Investment Funds and the Neighborhood Association Publication Policies and Guidelines. These policies guide neighborhood associations in using outreach funds in a way that is consistent, responsible and accountable to the public.

*** City Support for Neighborhood Associations Staff of the Office of Human Rights & Neighborhood Involvement (HRNI) provide direct support as well as capacity‐building support to Eugene’s neighborhood associations so they remain organized and effective advocates for their neighborhood communities. Direct support to neighborhood associations includes funding for neighborhood information and outreach activities; access to equipment for events (canopies, tables, reusable dishware, easels, projector and sound systems). Based on census data, HRNI staff provide neighborhood‐level data on demographics including age, race and ethnicity, gender, housing tenure, education, and other neighborhood characteristics such as zoning, land use, and commuting habits). The Neighborhood Matching Grant program is a valued resource for neighborhood associations and other groups, enabling projects that involve collaboration among a broad cross‐section of Eugene residents and community organizations resulting in lasting impact. Along with providing Zoom access, HRNI also provides neighborhood association access to Survey Monkey and to RLID, the Regional Land Information Database via Lane Council of Governments.

HRNI’s capacity‐building support for neighborhood associations also includes semi‐annual workshops for neighborhood board members (Neighborhoods 101) and the Neighborhood Handbook; assistance with problem solving; assistance with developing outreach plans to engage a diversity of neighborhood residents and businesses; and opportunities for training related to conflict management, meeting facilitation, decision making, event planning, board succession and broad engagement of neighborhood association members. In late 2020, HRNI offered the Belonging webinar to neighborhood association board and committee members. Members of Eugene’s boards, commissions, and advisory bodies were also invited to participate. In total 85 people attended two webinars.

Funding Neighborhood Outreach While newsletters and postcards still comprise the majority of neighborhood outreach expenditures, neighborhood associations use other means to raise awareness of their groups and infirm their neighbors about opportunities to participate in the work of the association: yard signs, flyers, posters, stickers, refrigerator magnets, decals, banners, window clings, bumper stickers, and sign‐boards in neighborhood parks provide information and support to neighborhood communities. Two neighborhood associations have purchased vests for volunteers to wear during neighborhood events and work parties and as a way of adding visibility to the variety of projects taking place in their neighborhoods. Email and online tools are an important means for neighborhood associations to communicate to a broad audience. Neighborhood outreach funds can be used to pay for the cost of an email list management service through a third‐party vendor (such as iContact or Mail Chimp). Several neighborhood associations currently take advantage of these tools to help them build and manage member email contacts, produce engaging and informative email announcements and newsletters, and enhance communication with members. Increasingly popular communication tools include Nextdoor, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, along with neighborhood association websites.

Distributing Outreach Funds to Neighborhood Associations Each year HRNI receives funds to support neighborhood associations in engaging their neighborhood community in the work of the association. The public investment in neighborhood associations is allocated to each group according to the number of addresses within their boundaries and follows the process below:

There are three key dates where neighborhood outreach funds are distributed to active neighborhood associations:

o On July 1, each active neighborhood association is allocated 50% of their total annual funding. o On November 1, all unspent funds from the first period are pooled and distributed to active

neighborhood associations along with 25% of the remaining annual allocation. o On March 1, this process is repeated with the final 25% of the outreach funding as well as a

redistribution of pooled unspent funds from the second period.

Additionally, 10‐15% of the total allocation is held by HRNI at the beginning of the fiscal year to support reactivation of inactive neighborhood associations and to fund training or program needs that may arise during the year.

***

With 2020 behind us, and as the community moves into 2021, Eugene’s neighborhood associations continue their work to bring people, businesses and organizations together ‐ virtually and socially‐distanced ‐ to address long‐standing issues and those that arise quickly, celebrating connection, art, health, safety and community.

Chair: Kara Steffensen Board members: Kevin Shanley, Robert MacConnell, Melissa Takush, Randy Prince, Connie Bergland, Ruth Bryant, Dylan Plummer

Successes, Challenges and Goals Our top three accomplishments for 2020.

1. On February 1st, 2020, ANA hosted a Seed Swap for the neighborhood and local community at the Amazon Community Center. It was attended by over 150 people, ranging in age from young babies to octogenarians. The event helped neighbors to obtain free seeds to start spring gardens and gave them the chance to ask questions of master gardeners. The seed swap and potluck generated a strong sense of community and potential for community growth in addressing the issues of growing food, sustainability and climate change at the neighborhood level.

2. When the COVID crisis began, we canceled our usual meetings and addressed the crisis by producing and mailing a newsletter in April, which shared the contact information of local health and service agencies to help neighbors access critical resources. The newsletter also offered neighbors a chance to show solidarity and concern for each other by creating and sharing works of art during our Sidewalk Art Walks in May. This effort to bolster spirits was enjoyed by the many who created the art, and by the many more who walked past these offerings.

3. After the devastating wildfires, ANA organized a fundraiser and harvest celebration activity to benefit people who were affected by the Holiday Farm Fire. Neighbors were encouraged to decorate their homes for Halloween/Samhain and donations were gathered for fire victims. The event generated $530 dollars, which was converted into $25 gift cards, and distributed to victims of the Holiday Farm Fire. A large number of households decorated their homes, using mostly natural products, and it encouraged a positive sense of togetherness while apart.

And these are other successes worth noting...

ANA Board members learned how to adjust to meeting over zoom and held monthly meetings throughout the year, albeit with lower than usual attendance from other neighbors.

In order to increase attendance and have our elections, we organized the December meeting to include an uplifting speaker to address the issue of mental health and COVID. Attendance increased to 20 at this election meeting. Our guest speaker, Leigh

Anne Jasheway, gave neighbors some great ideas on how to take care of their mental health in her talk, How the Laugh and Bark away the Blues.

Our three most pressing challenges include 1. Outreach to new members and committee work is difficult in the time of COVID

because we can't have face‐to‐face contact, and people tire of zoom meetings. 2. Retention of older board members who do not like to use computers is also difficult

during Covid. 3. Access to funding is so circumscribed into particular rubrics that it makes it hard to

innovate quickly to address the changing needs of a neighborhood during Covid. We have to be very flexible now, but the funding rubrics are not quick and flexible.

Other challenges we're working on... How to recruit and maintain the involvement of younger people?

How to address the issues of equity and generate a civic spirit of involvement?

How to address homelessness in some capacity without getting drawn into divisive discussions that inhibit the camaraderie needed to stay involved.

Top Three Goals for 2021

1. Address the issue of emergency preparedness focused on the risk of wildfires coming into the city.

2. Create an updated and engaging website. 3. Increase outreach and involvement of neighbors.

Cal Young Neighborhood Association

Chair: Jackson Kellogg, [email protected] Board members: John Fischer, Brett Blundon, Stephen Clarke, Guy Avenell, Tom Steadman, Katie Werner

Successes, Challenges and Goals Our accomplishments for 2020.

We had a very productive remote meeting that allowed more members of the community to participate. I hope that the future meetings of this group are conducted using ZOOM (or a similar service) when the restrictions on in‐person gatherings are lifted. Remote meetings allow a wider range of community members to participate.

Our most pressing challenges include One challenge was having people who did not live in the neighborhood join the remote meetings.

Top Three Goals for 2021 We would like to work on land use, encourage more diverse participation with people of different ages, genders and backgrounds.

Churchill Area Neighbors

Chair: Thomasina (Tomi) Bates, [email protected] Board members: Wayne Wilson, Nora Cronin, Alpha Wilson, Ruthanne Wilson, Robert C. Hendrix, Stephen Caruana, Lloyd Helikson


1. Food pantry collaboration with Burrito Brigade 2. February General Meeting: City Councilor candidate Q&A forum. We hosted and

moderated a forum for the two candidates running to replace Chris Pryor, who had announced his retirement.

3. Hawkins Heights Path maintenance coordinated and led by super‐volunteer Lloyd. We made strides working with Parks employees getting problematic poison oak treated around the path, as well.

Other notable successes:

Traffic study in two sub neighborhoods

Still a lot of people joining Facebook groups

Managed to moderate the excitement generated in our Facebook group to the event at the New Hope Christian College when local media outlets reported the college was going to be targeted by Antifa and armed “protectors'' were invited on campus to protect their cross. (No Antifa ever appeared.)

Delivered 30 “20 is Plenty” signs, on a first come first served basis via Facebook promotion

Our three most pressing challenges include: 1. Transportation and the safety issues connected with those corridors within the CAN

boundary, including: speeding in neighborhoods and main roads, walkability, getting the attention from city departments to focus change in our area.

2. Meeting Location ‐ the COVID situation is strangely helpful for our meeting situation. CAN has few publicly owned buildings, all 4J, that are appropriate for hosting meetings. 4J requires us to have 2 million in insurance to meet in their facilities, requirements that exceed our budget. Before the pandemic, we were able to meet at a local church for General Meetings for a fee and a retirement facility for committee meetings. We feel meeting in a public building is the most inclusive, and CAN would benefit from an agreement with 4J to waive the insurance requirement for neighborhood meetings.

3. Engagement of neighbors is always an issue, particularly getting out the message to neighbors who may be underrepresented in other areas. We plan more outreach and engagement: Working on surveys to identify issues in the neighborhood that

could use our attention, neighborhood reps doing outreach in their areas, e‐newsletter.

Other challenges we're working on: Board recruitment and engagement was challenging this year.

Life changes, pandemic stress, job stress ‐ just an extra crazy year.

We have some new excitement brought to us via one returning volunteer, one new area rep and another volunteer who wants to help with communications!

Top Three Goals for 2021: 1. Traffic safety and calming; continued engagement with the ATC 2. Restart clean up work along the bike path. 3. Build more partnerships. 4. Wildfire safety. Parts of CAN are in the hills and have forested areas around

their homes. The nature of the Holiday Farm fire brought the possibility of a similar disaster to the forefront.

Co‐Chair: Avalon Mason, [email protected] Co‐Chair: Helen Buzenberg, [email protected] Board members: Geoffrey Cohen, Francis Pastorelle, Suzie Smith, Heather Kliever, Danny Klute


1. Holding all meetings as planned, but shifting to virtual. 2. Accessing old social media and communication accounts that had been lost with

former board members. 3. Becoming involved in more initiatives with other neighborhoods, such as

emergency preparedness after the recent wildfires.


Honestly, we lost a lot of board members in a short period of time. Those that remain are working very hard to keep us knitted together and to revamp our community engagement strategies!

Our three most pressing challenges include: 1. how to reach our older residents with current Covid limitations, 2) 2. how to start engaging our younger residents who are typically uninvolved 3. increasing our board to a more sustainable size/ capacity‐building.

Other challenges we're working on: Budgeting for a mail out newsletter to help build awareness about our association.

Top Three Goals for 2021: 1. Surveying to find out what residents are really interested in hearing about at our

general meetings 2. Creating some sort of safe, social event over the summer, connecting more with

sister neighborhoods to model their successes.

Final distribution of the Oregonian Crossing pedestrian crossing awareness signs made available to FAN. Organized and led outreach campaign to raise Jefferson Street neighbor awareness of City of Eugene plans to address the need for traffic calming as part of the Vision Zero objectives ‐ now scheduled for construction in mid/late 2021. Designed, produced, and distributed 120 door hangers. Conducted online outreach via the FANTT website, Google calendar, Friendly Flyer, Facebook, Twitter, and Nextdoor. Prepared follow up surveys for input on project planning. Developed Purpose & Mission Statement to guide ongoing FAN TT activities and actions to focus on Transportation Health, Equity, Safety, and Sustainability.

Formation of the Housing and Homeless Action Committee At the Aug. 17 Board meeting, the Board approved formation of the Housing and Homeless Action Committee. See goals under Plans for 2021. FAN’s role in the formation of the Eugene Wildfire Preparedness Coalition As FAN Board and Ready Friendly members began planning our winter General Meeting, the Wildfire Preparedness Forum, it became clear that this was a much larger issue than just FAN. Collaboration with many organizations and agencies led to the formation of the Eugene Wildfire Preparedness Coalition under NLC‐ENPN (Eugene Neighborhood Preparedness Network) with a major role in the continuing education of the community about the risks of wildfire in our metro area. Reinstatement of the Sustainability Team: At the Dec.21 Board meeting, formation of the new Sustainability Team was approved. See goals under Plans for 2021. Addition of five new members to the Executive Board, including one Willamette St. business owner Work by FAN Outreach Team FAN Quarterly Newsletters. FAN continues to publish and distribute four quarterly high quality newsletters that provide excellent information and resources to the community.

This E‐newsletter is sent out at least once a month and keeps community members updated on a variety of city‐wide and neighborhood issues and events, 680 community members subscribe to the Friendly Flyer

Our three most pressing challenges include: 1. COVID ‐‐‐

The pandemic has had a big impact on our activities and ability to be in contact with our neighbors. We had to cancel our spring general meeting, but we were able to set up summer and fall meetings via zoom with great attendance. We helped form the South Eugene Recovers disaster relief network to pool resources and maximize our effectiveness. Our spring newsletter was devoted to the community response to the pandemic. Seven board members researched and wrote articles on resources for health, food, families, utility and internet, and the unhoused. Restaurants and food stores open for business with pickup or delivery options were listed. Map Your Neighborhood groups kept in regular contact with neighbors to make sure they had what they needed to Stay Home, Save Lives. Some board members sewed masks and collected items needed by White Bird and other agencies.

2. Assessing with confidence the concerns and issues of FAN residents ‐‐‐ This is an ongoing challenge. We get information from people who attend our meetings or who email us with questions and concerns, but for many issues we need information from a larger number of neighbors. It is especially difficult to be in contact with neighbors who don’t use the internet; for them, our quarterly newsletter is our only means of contact. A survey might be a useful tool, but board members need training in designing and using surveys.

3. Diversity Even though FAN has made a significant commitment to equity and human rights issues, we are a predominately white neighborhood and attendance at our meetings and events tends to be primarily from this population. We are always working to engage a broader contingent of community members in our neighborhood association activities.

Other challenges we're working on: Composition of Board. We are happy to have five new board members elected in 2020, for a total of 13 board members. One of our challenges continues to be recruiting more diverse FAN Board members, including younger people, renters, parents, and BIPOC.

Top Three Goals for 2021: 1. Housing and Homeless Action Committee: HHAC will continue working with Community Supported

Shelters, the City, and nearby residents to make the planned temporary managed shelter microsite at 2150 Polk St a success. This includes maintaining open channels of communications with neighbors to anticipate and address concerns, and involve neighbors in identifying creative ways to make the microsite a source of pride. The specific projects and tasks will become more evident as the site development proceeds and needs become known. HHAC is also working to locate and lobby for additional sanctioned camping or shelter spaces within the city because the amount we currently have is not nearly enough.

2. Sustainability Team: This new team plans to ascertain the level of interest in the projects listed below and be open to new projects. Projects will be pursued where there is interest and energy from FAN neighbors. Projects include: neighborhood education; plastic recycling; support for Friendly Park Work Parties, Common Ground Garden, Friendly Fruit Tree Project, and Toolbox Project; and encouraging walking and biking for errands and exercise.

3. Engage with local businesses in a more robust manner: Continued development of community support of local businesses

Initiated efforts to support neighbors affected by the pandemic by creating a COVID response phone number â€“ if neighbors needed help â€“ and pointing neighbors to city resources and information

ExCom members refinished Neighborhood message board to improve communication

Installed neighborhood mail boxes to receive ballots and message from neighbors

Hosted a well‐attended winter potluck at a new location, Northwest Youth Corps, at no cost, saving money for the neighborhood

Each of our general meetings we’ve organized has had presentations by elected officials and community leaders talking about a subject of high importance

Successfully held fall food drive despite the pandemic, raising 2 1/2 barrels of donations for Food for Lane County

Published four newsletters that went to everyone who lives in our neighborhood.

Our three most pressing challenges include: 1. Land use and development. The sheer volume of PUDs and the extraordinary

amount of time and expertise it requires to respond to PUD applications is severely damaging to our community. One challenge is that we need to stay vigilant to follow applications and/or see that they follow the originally approved PUD plan. Instead of committing time and funds to engaging residents,

developing programs and initiatives within the community, etc., Neighborhood Associations (NAs) have to expend hundreds, almost thousands, of volunteer hours annually on PUDs alone during the application process. Even after the application process, oversight is rather ineffective, and NAs are increasingly having to monitor projects even at the building permit level to ensure builds are congruent with the Approved Final Plan. A neighborhood subcommittee can be tasked on a single PUD project for between 1 to 7+ years, and in many cases neighborhood leaders are serving on multiple PUD response efforts simultaneously. Additionally, PUDs drain neighborhood fiscal resources; NAs have to spend tens of thousands of dollars on PUD response efforts, such that it has little if any money to spend on the actual community. It would not be surprising if, across all NAs in Eugene, NAs spent over $300,000 on PUD responses alone, begging us to ask, How could NAs have spent those funds to enhance their actual community? To compound this, the neighborhood organization is voluntary. As volunteers we give time and energy for the betterment of our neighborhood. Some board members are frustrated that we are doing the city’s work, but not getting paid, to make sure that the PUDs follow their original application and/or originally approved PUD plan.

2. Engaging younger Executive Committee Members as veteran and long‐term members age, retire, or otherwise cannot commit as much time and energy

3. Petty Crime (illegal parking, homeless camping, illegal dumping, car break ins, attempted B&E, ongoing vandalism at Northwest Youth Corps, etc.)

Other challenges we're working on: Removing and preventing illegal campers from undeveloped land owned by

developers

Continued need to recruit and involve neighbors in the Executive Committee and neighborhood activities.

Challenge for board members and neighbors to attend meetings if they don’t have access to Zoom

Top Three Goals for 2021: 1. Continue to evaluate and respond to PUD applications, as well as monitor

building sites for congruence with PUD final plans 2. Hoping community health will allow resumption of annual ice cream social in

August 3. Continue to expand ExCom recruitment, onboarding, and involvement and

communication within the neighborhood 4. Supporting communication and evacuation routes, neighborhood preparedness

in case of wildfire

http://www.sunaeugene.org/

Co‐chair: Nancy Meyer, [email protected] Co‐chair/Land Use: Bill Aspegren, [email protected] Board Members: Kari Parsons, Carolyn Jacobs, Pamela Miller, Lauren Willis, Grace Swanson, Marsha Shankman, Marcia Regnier, Tracy Phelan

Successes, Challenges and Goals Our top three accomplishments for 2020: 1. This year we worked closely with the University of Oregon on important safety issues ‐

primarily regarding covid measures and concerns about community spread. We worked with the University as it responded to questions about unsafe parties and then as it offered free neighborhood COVID tests. We also continued our work with the UO on safety issues regarding traffic, parking, housing, and parties in order to encourage a sense of safety and community for all our residents. Our University liaison attended all our board meetings, and we included a monthly University update in each eNewsletter.

2. We worked hard this year to improve outreach in our community in order to include more neighbors in important local issues and potential disaster responses. SUNA is well over 50% rental with a high turnover rate ‐ making communication and engagement a challenge. We have increased the circulation of our monthly eNewsletter by 22% to include 326 households. We strive to include content relevant to all residents ‐ from Covid‐related rent relief to updates from Edison, the YMCA, neighborhood churches, etc. We created a four‐fold color brochure for new and interested neighbors which includes neighborhood history, safety issues, important numbers, rental information, and being a good neighbor. Our goal is to strengthen and widen community ties.

3. We worked with neighbors and 4J on the rebuilding of Edison ‐ in particular with regard to retaining much of its historic importance to our city and community. Importantly, we have met with 4J to identify artifacts in the building which can be repurposed. We particularly appreciated 4J's time on this, given the challenges and closures the school district has been facing this year.

Other notable successes: We have engaged many neighbors in a better understanding of evolving land use codes

and zoning changes which will have a strong impact on SUNA. Given our proximity to campus, our density, and our aging infrastructure, we feel it is important to retain a distinct voice. Many neighbors are very concerned about the increase in non‐owner

occupied short term rentals largely located in SUNA, and there was huge, widespread support at the 6/9/20 Council Meeting to require licensing or registration of these properties. We have a strong presence on the STR Committee (Bill Aspegren) and the Healthy Democracy Steering Committee (Carolyn Jacobs). Many neighbors have concerns about the impact of HB2001, since the loss of small local rentals near campus in favor or more lucrative housing units will not satisfy the stated goal of providing more low income rentals. We continue to support additional housing along transit corridors in our neighborhood.

We worked with the city to support safety issues regarding car and bicycle traffic ‐ with the slowing of traffic along 19th and with the important addition of four stop signs at the Alder St intersection for bikes and cars.

We continue to work on Disaster Preparedness education and planning ‐ and hosted an important meeting with UO Geology Professor Doug Toomey and City of Eugene Kevin Holman.

We continued our support of First Congregational Church in increasing its efforts to house families on its property in our community ‐ most recently with Pallet Houses for three families.

We successfully worked with the City's Code Compliance and Eugene Police Department to improve safety for neighbors who were concerned about fires and gunshots at a local rental.

We worked with the Student Pantry on campus to improve outreach and volunteer enrollment.

We worked with Eugene's Urban Forester and Friends of Trees to explain and coordinate extensive local birch tree removal and tree replacement throughout our neighborhood.

Our three most pressing challenges include: 1. Neighbors continue to have safety concerns about increased theft, tagging, and bias crimes

which happen primarily near campus. Despite board efforts and research ‐ and the mayor's attendance at a general meeting where these concerns were shared ‐ the city has not improved lighting on our streets, which makes walking at night a risk and crime more likely. We have worked with the UO to develop 'safe routes' for students to walk at night ‐ but this is still a risk.

2. Land Use and zoning issues remain a challenge in neighborhoods such as ours without the 'protection' of CC&R's. Much of SUNA is a desirable neighborhood for rentals ‐ and HB2001 allows developers to remove smaller housing in order to pack larger, more lucrative units onto lots while adding stressors to our aging infrastructure and parking/traffic issues. This will negatively impact our community without offering affordable housing for our city at large.

3. Outreach and engagement in a largely rental community with high turnover continues to be a main concern. This makes it a challenge to improve SUNA's ability to represent the concerns of all our residents. For example, we are working to include all parts of our community in our Disaster Preparedness grid and currently have five large 'block areas' ‐

however, large areas of student rentals require the engagement of landlords to ensure safety during rental transitions.

Other challenges we're working on: Reaching out to landlords for Disaster Preparedness support, so they will keep their renters

apprised of emergency procedures.

Regrouping our meetings, since Edison is being rebuilt, SUNA is working with First Congregational for meeting space for board and general meetings.

Top Three Goals for 2021: 1. Continue to work on safety issues with our community, the University, and the city. This

will include our efforts on Disaster Preparedness ‐ with a grant request to the city for communication/phones.

2. Continue to have a voice and engage in land use and zoning issues (STRs, etc.) and in the long‐term planning at University Park

3. Work to clarify our ByLaws in, including election procedures if a vote is postponed due to an emergency and incorporating our continuing goal of engaging students on the board and neighborhood activities.

1. We were granted approximately $80,000 from the Oregon Health Authority to address Covid‐19 in our neighborhood. We used these funds to distribute PPE, hand sanitizer, and water bottles with the four ways you can stop the spread of Covid‐19 imprinted on the bottles. We’ve made new connections with businesses and service providers to disperse these items. We’ve also run a citywide advertising campaign with images of individuals from the Whiteaker. Our “All 4 One, and One 4 All: 4 Ways to Stop the Spread of Covid‐19” campaign can be found on city buses, billboards, sandwich boards, and across social media.

2. We are proud of the efforts made to hold meetings and elections via Zoom from February until present. We held from 2‐4 meetings a month via Zoom, and promoted these meetings on sandwich boards, our website, and on social media. We were also able to hold our elections, and elected a full board while 100% online.

3. The Whiteaker Community Art Team continued to provide opportunities for artistic expression. We are building “free walls”, blank wall space on which anyone can create, to allow for artistic expression in our art‐centered neighborhood. They ran hybrid digital/in‐person, socially distanced art walks.

Other notable successes: The WCC reached out to neighbors in the Skinner City Farm area to get support for

a Community Supported Shelter Rest Stop that houses 25 unhoused individuals in Conestoga Huts.

Neighbors organized monthly “street cleans” that got a good amount of neighborhood support. The organizers of these street cleans are now members of the WCC board.

Our board has connected with other organizations serving the unhoused neighbors in the Whiteaker such as Black Unity, Black Thistle, C.OR.E, and other groups providing outreach. These are relationships that we will continue to build and find ways to support, as we are behind their mission and are thrilled at their efforts.

Our three most pressing challenges include: 1. Skyrocketing rent and home purchasing prices

2. Lack of shelter and access to hygiene stations for unhoused population 3. Covid‐19 Impact: Covid economic impact on local businesses such as reduced

customers, problems with customers being safe, etc.

Other challenges we're working on: Service industry employees facing eviction due to loss of income

‐Disproportionate amount of unhoused in our neighborhood relative to other neighborhoods

Lack of participation or knowledge of WCC from non‐board members, Outreach needed to involve more neighbors, and to reach a more diverse population.

Lack of communication and lack of follow‐through from the city officials after meetings with WCC members.

CSS camper and area safety concerns due to additional campers around the site

Reduction in city‐provided sanitation solutions

A number of seasoned and highly active board members stepping down.

Top Three Goals for 2021: 1. Increasing education, outreach, engagement on reduction of transmission and

vaccination for Covid 2. Neighborhood sanitation such as sinks, bathrooms, trash cans/dumpsters 3. Increasing temporary/sanitary housing

Elected Officials We met with our elected officials to discuss: The condition of Washington‐Jefferson Park as more and more unhoused individuals and those preying on them set up camp in the park. The Mayor, City Manager, and our Councilor have all walked the park multiple times, and there have been multiple follow‐up meetings in regards to the situation in the park. We also spoke with our councilor about an opportunity for an Egan Warming Center site in the neighborhood, as well as the safety around the established Rest Stop located in the Skinner City Farm. We wrote to the City Council and talked with city officials to establish a streatery on Van Buren St. between Blair Blvd and 3rd St. It was not approved, and conditions on that part of the street were made more challenging due to seating put in the parking lanes, requiring pedestrians to walk in the middle of the street to pass safely by groupings of individuals being served by the two restaurants for whom the seating was established. A letter of support was written to encourage city funding to build more units to support children ageing out of foster care in the N. Polk site. We wrote a letter of support for establishing the Community Supported Shelter site at Skinner City Farm.

For example, the MUPTE Advisory Committee has two at-large representatives elected by all neighborhoods and two representatives for the neighborhood in which a MUPTE is proposed. Assuming the at-large reps are from two different neighborhoods, three neighborhood associations would be reporting the time spent on the City’s MUPTE process.
